Hello, I live in Irvine and would like to have my child's first meal at a Japanese restaurant.
I live in Irvine and would like to have a weaning ceremony for my child.

I am thinking of either of the above.

If you have any recommendations for Japanese restaurants or Japanese supermarkets in the Irvine or Los Angeles area where
you have held your first wedding ceremony or
actually purchased your snapper, please let us know ?

Thank you. <1464> Thank you very much.

As a Showa-era person like myself, the first meal is cooked at home and served in lacquer ware for the first meal ( and the child in a formal kimono is made to imitate eating ), but this custom may have changed. It is a family ritual for children, so I don't think it is the purpose of going to a restaurant to please adults in the first place.  Small snapper can easily be found in Asian markets and are easy to roast in the oven.

although they do for birthday parties. Either way, it's free to ask, so just ask.

sekihan (red rice)
osuimono (soup) ( asari (scallion) )
simmered dish ( chikuzen nimono ・ black soybean )
grilled dish ( sea bream with tail head )
pickles
octopus
rice cake
fruit

All the items are sold separately at NIJIYA
Since they can make Osechi, I guess they can make a set for the first meal for a certain number of people if you call in advance
Anyway, they can speak Japanese, so call them!

How is the Great Park area for a Japanese person to live?
I have an elementary school child, and I am wondering if there are Japanese students in the class, if he/she can join ELD, if there are Japanese people living around him/her, if he/she can make friends with mothers, etc.
I am new here and don't know the area well, so I am having trouble.

If you can recommend any other areas, that would be great!

The Great Park area was filled with all kinds of chemicals when it was a base. The area is supposed to have been cleaned up before it was turned into a residential area, but I don't think they were able to completely and quickly remove all of them.
So, I would recommend this area to old people who have a short life expectancy, but if I had children, I would never live here. It doesn't matter how many or how few Japanese people you have.
The area around the District in Tustin used to be a base, but I heard that there is a clause in the contract that says you can't eat anything planted in the ground and you can't sue the seller if you eat it and it damages your health.

Please let me know your opinion.
I lived in the U.S. for 10 years, but my mother asked me to come back to Japan because she was worried about being alone in her old age.
I was single in the U.S. but worked hard.

I was taking care of my mother while working full time back in Japan, but my health started to deteriorate and I realized that I could not continue to work
at the same time, so I quit the company. I was working happily in my new position and was receiving a monthly salary of 250,000 take-home pay.

I looked for a part time job this time, but it is only 100,000 a month since I work 3 times a week.
I am not married so I have to take care of myself in the future and when I was getting 250,000 I was saving 100,000
a month.

I am quitting my job to take care of my parents, so I would like to receive the amount I would receive if I worked 250,000 - 100,000 a month = 150,000 a month from my mother for expenses
but she does not understand. Why do I have to pay
when I don't pay rent and I even pay for her meals ?
? She doesn't think about my life after my mother dies. What will she want me to do
when I'm 60 years old, taking care of her in her current condition?

My mother received an inheritance from my father and has money to spare. But she doesn't want to go into a nursing home.
Is my claim strange ??

Regardless of whether you get paid or not, but as a practical matter, if taking care of your parents makes your own future life difficult, it would be impossible.

It's not about getting or paying because of this situation.

I'm sure there are many cases of suicide due to caregiver exhaustion. "I'm here because I'm looking for some good advice from someone " who is taking care of my parents, but sometimes I get annoyed by useless people who are not involved in my parents' care at all.
My parents are also elderly, and moreover, my father recently found out that he has terminal cancer and temporarily returned home, leaving my mother alone after applying for long-term care insurance while my father was in the hospital. My father has moved to home care
and is still doing well, but I am worried about him and plan to return to Japan temporarily in November to help with his care. So, I am not yet a caregiver, but I will be in the future. Please reply to me as I am very curious to know how you are doing at the moment.

I know I'm late to the party, but I think Topy's point is obvious.
However, I think it is difficult to get your mother's consent.

I am in the same situation as you, my mother lives alone in Japan and has been occasionally taken care of by a nearby relative ( my cousin ), but due to the progress of her dementia, she started having auditory hallucinations and my relative encouraged her to move in with him, retire from her job and move in with her family. I retired from my job, left my family in the U.S., and started living with my mother by myself. My mother not only does not want to move into a facility for the elderly, she also does not want to go to day care, and recently she does not want to go to the hospital and is a stay-at-home mom. I am in a financially sound situation, but my mother's dementia is gradually progressing, so the emotional burden of living with her is very heavy.
We have been living together for a little over five years, and I am considering separating from my mother in another five years, whether she moves into a facility or not. I think it would be good for you to think about your own life first and then do what you can for your mother.

Thank you very much for your time. It seems that you have everything you need to live while your mother is alive, but if she should die, her assets will be inherited by her daughter, and with her pension, will it be difficult for her to live on her own?

If Mr. Cherry is healthy and you have a lawn front yard, why don't you buy a lawn mower and trimmer and mow it yourself?

When I bought my current house, I had a front yard of about 130 sq. yards of lawn.
I continued to use the same gardener I had used in my previous house, but
I bought the above machine and started mowing it myself, thinking it would improve my stamina.
It depends on the type of lawn, but I think once every two weeks is fine.

I think it's wonderful that you are a junior high school student and are trying to do all this research on your own.

I think you can find out most of the information on the Internet, so if you want to know more, you should contact the U.S. Embassy in Japan or the Japanese Consulate in the U.S. and visit them.

Also, there are various groups on Facebook, etc. If you join a study abroad group, you may be able to get more realistic advice from people of similar ages or seniors who are close to your age.

In between the news footage, there was a voice that had nothing to do with the content of the news. I'm glad to see you again", and twice.
This voice had nothing to do with the news that was being broadcast at the time.
Is this a broadcast accident? ?
Was it on other people's TVs as well? ?
I didn't pay much attention the first time, but since it came in twice, it was like a psychic phenomenon and scared me a little. If anyone says they heard it too, I would be glad if you could respond.

I always carry on as much as possible. I bring a Boston bag on top of a smaller suitcase that can be carried in, and put the suitcase in the top compartment and the Boston under the seat in front of me. If I can't fit it in, I put it in a cardboard box and send it by fedex or usps, but
usps is surprisingly expensive. I don't know how much the check-in surcharge is, but it is also expensive to send heavy items.

The largest box that can be sent by USPS Flat Rate is not very big, and the price seems to vary from Hawaii to Hawaii. I thought the post office was the cheapest, but I will look into FedEx and UPS ! Thank you very much !.

We recommend a service called Pirate Ship. Even if you do not have a business account, you can purchase labels at a discounted price for broker accounts that Pirate Ship has. It is not very cheap, but it is about 10% less than the regular price.
